How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: NPR/Marist Poll of 949 This survey of 949 adults was conducted September 5th through September 9 th, 2018 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with NPR. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the contiguous United States were contacted on landline or mobile numbers and interviewed in English by telephone using live interviewers. Mobile telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the nation from Survey Sampling International. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Mobile phones are treated as individual devices. After validation of age, personal ownership, and non-business-use of the mobile phone, interviews are typically conducted with the person answering the phone. To increase coverage, this mobile sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of landline phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. Within each landline household, a single respondent is selected through a random selection process to increase the representativeness of traditionally under-covered survey populations. Assistance was provided by Luce Research and The Logit Group, Inc for data collection. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2016 American Community Survey 1-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results are statistically significant within ±3.6 percentage points. There are 777 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±4.0 percentage points. The error margin was adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
